ENGINEERING company Ennsub Group has received £1.5 million of backing from the Scottish Loan Fund.

The subsea technology specialist, founded in 2012, has its headquarters in Aberdeen along with an assembly site on Teeside and an engineering base in Vigo, Spain.

The business plans to use the money to add to its workforce in the UK as well as expanding its capacity. It is also looking into developing more deepwater winch products.

SLF, managed by Maven, said it felt Ennsub had market leading technologies.
